Elbow have announced they're launching their own beer. Named after their recent album 'Build a Rocket Boys!', the limited edition cask ale will get its official launch at the Manchester Food and Drink festival in October.

The self-professed "supporters of traditional British real ale" have joined forces with brewery Robinsons of Stockport to create a beer "brewed to Elbow's own specifications after a series of tastings," says the band's website.

According to their post, they say, "Band members sampled a range of Robinsons' ales to shortlist their preferred style of beer, taste and colour before deciding on a golden ale with a rich rounded body, smooth bitterness, subtle tang of malt and fruity aroma."
